    According to the site, Samuel is John Shaft(Richard Roundtree)'s nephew.
    Soundtrack lists Isaac Hayes theme but also (a)R(se) Kelly and several other
    members of the warbling=soul singing school.
    Still, Busta Rhymes as his assistant should be cool.

    Richard

    P.S. For further John Singleton / Busta Rhymes ( / Ice Cube) check out the
    film 'Higher Learning'(1995) or at least buy the soundtrack. A few pants rap
    and r&b tunes but a nice Meshell effort and a Tori Amos cover of 'Losing my
    religion' that made me hunt for the CD for a couple of years.

    Which, by accounts is still true, Jackson plays a cousin or
    something. But, the real reason for it all is that Isaac Hayes is
    doing the soundtrack which is the really reason why we so value the
    movie.
